Introduction

Hello! Just moved back home to Chicago from Boston where I worked (and continue to work) on a project called Between the Bars (www.betweenthebars.org) which is run out of the MIT Media Lab's Center for Civic Media.

Are you a hack (writer, photographer, content creator), a hacker (developer, engineer, designer) or both?

A bit of both. Maker. Hacker. Civic media enthusiast.

Are you looking for partners to collaborate on a project, and if so what?

Absolutely! I'd be happy to talk with anyone about participatory media projects. Open data and open government. Tools for democratic distributed decision making.

  • Hi Ben! Would love to speak with you tomorrow to learn more about Between the Bars. My name is Lily and I'm @dangerbui on Twitter in case you want to link up online. Love the idea of Between the Bars and would simply love to hear more. Also a fan to MIT Media Labs!
